Hello,
Some minutes ago I did a regular system update and after that decided to reboot. After reboot I was unable to log into my system. After fiddling a bit I rebooted to an Arch boot stick to find the following message in pacman.log:
[2020-08-19T20:42:55+0200] [ALPM] warning: /etc/pam.d/system-login installed as /etc/pam.d/system-login.pacnew
The .pacnew should've been handled *before* rebooting.
As this seemed to be a candidate that may cause login problems, I deleted "system-login" and moved the ".pacnew" into place.
After reboot I'm now able to log in again...
IMHO something like this should not happen...
Maybe it's worth a note on the Arch homepage that it is important to move this pacnew into place before reboot?
This only affected you and whomever else changed system-login. It's not news material. Also, if you're messing with PAM, you should be responsible for applying the new stuff, otherwise it'll break, like it did for you. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
